Biography

Songwriter, guitarist, singer, producer and sound-scaper based in the North West of England. Currently writing and performing solo and in collaboration projects Ghostfield and Bossyking, I have over 20 years experience of writing, recording and performing. My musical output has always taken in a vast range of influences. Wandering around the roads of Folk, Electronica, Rock, Indie and Ambient to New Wave, Disco and Outsider Art. 

Previous projects include The Indian Postal Service (seven-piece Psych Folk band), Handbrake Shirley (Disco Rock), Scrogans Run (Bluegrass duo), The Hey Down Treaders (five-piece Folk-Rock band) and Foragers (Singer/Songwriter duo).

More recent projects have combined the originality of my early songwriting with a new electronic direction with Bossyking (Electronic Indie duo) and Ghostfield (House / Tech / Ambient solo project).

Aside from writing and performing, I recorded and produced a Podcast series 'Live from the Guest Room' (2017), interviewing musicians living and working in Cumbria. I have also written and recorded score music for Chaos Collective Theatre Company’s productions of Hamlet and The Tempest (2018) and Land and Sky Media's award winning short film 'Nowt but a Fleeting Thing' (2019) and 'Red Needle' (2023). More recent projects have included recording and editing a soundscape for the Environment Agency based on local residents' memories of the River Kent in Kendal, broadcasting Dawn Chorus live from the woods in Arnside for Reveil 2023 International Dawn Chorus Day and writing and producing incidental music for TV adverts

Occasionally known to DJ- I play strictly vinyl sets from my vastly eclectic record collection under the pseudonym 'Pompeii Early Warning Soundsystem'. I don’t do weddings. Or refunds.

I currently work as a Music Lecturer at Kendal College, Cumbria, UK.

I continue to expand my collection of vinyl whilst researching and reading up on the experimental, ethereal and ethnographical aspects of music.
